Frankfurt to evacuate 70,000 after British 🇬🇧 WW2 bomb found

German 🇩🇪 police will evacuate about 70,000 people from their homes on Sunday after an unexploded World War Two bomb was discovered in Frankfurt.

The 1.4 tonne British bomb 🇬🇧, nicknamed 'blockbuster' during the war for its ability to wipe out whole streets, was found near Goethe University Frankfurt. It was found on Wismarer Strasse, which is close to the city centre and 2.5km (1.5 miles) north of the main shopping area in the city.

"We are still working on the modalities of the evacuation plan," a spokeswoman for Frankfurt police said. More than 20,000 people will be evacuated in the western city of Koblenz on Saturday after a World War Two bomb was discovered.
